The BBC has reportedly offered Kylie Minogue close to £1 million to star in
its new talent show The Voice.

The pop superstar, 43, is being courted to appear as a coach in the singing
show, but at a potential cost for licence-fee payers.

Sources close to the programme reportedly said that Minogue’s representatives
had asked for a fee of around £2.5 million, but insist that the package
would be no more than £1 million. A BBC spokesman played down the story to The
Times as pure speculation, stating that Minogue’s involvement hasn’t
been confirmed.
